DLuders Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 At the Lego Kidsfest held December 3-5, 2010 in Hartford, Connecticut, USA, "Alfred Jr." documented a HUGE Great Ball Contraption (GBC) with some interesting modules. The show was sponsored by the New England Lego Users Group (NELUG). The largest GBC module there is a Ferris Wheel that carries the Lego balls up and around. Video 1 and Video 2 shows it in action. From the Flickr "LEGO Kid's Fest 2010, Hartford, CT" photoset: More footage appears on Video 3. Quote
tmumme Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 Great archimeds screw in there! Looks like beeing made of technic liftarm 1x5 thin and technic pin 1/2. Quote
DLuders Posted January 1, 2011 Author Posted January 1, 2011 In regards to the Lego Technic Archimedes Screw visible in Video 1 above, how can one make the subtle spiral with the pieces that tmumme noted? Quote

DLuders Posted January 1, 2011 Author Posted January 1, 2011 Good solution! If you turned the Archimedes Screw on its side, you could make a Lego Snowblower or Auger for farm machinery.... Quote
Jetro Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Some very interesting ideas there! Thanks for sharing. Quote
